Q1. What is difference between website and landing page?

A website is typically made up of multiple web pages (5-20 pages for SME, in HTML format) while a landing page is typically a single-page webpage (in HTML format also).

A website is normally used to describe everything about your company or your business such as your company background, products, services, technologies, projects, team members, clients, partners, gallery of photos and video, FAQ, SOP, resources, manuals/leaflets/user guides for download, and contacts. As a website can contain many pages, many hyperlinks and a lot of information, your customers may lose focus or get lost easily while they navigate your website.

Whereas a landing page is much simpler as it is only one page, typically used to do marketing or promotion for one product or one service or one special offer. The presentation of materials in the landing page is sequential, you browse from top to the bottom of the page. At the end of the page, you only get the customer'sfocus to do only one thing, may be to fill up a webform for their contacts, or click a button to place order or sign up for something. It is said that a landing page is much more effective in network marketing than a website.

Q3. Why I need to redesign my existing website?

The main reason why you need to consider a redesign for your old website is: it is not mobile responsive. It means your existing website is not mobile-friendly to view and perform any actions using a mobile phone! Many companies websites which were designed decades ago used the older version of contents management system (CMS) such as Joomla platform, which is meant to design webpages for display on a large computer screen on a desktop or laptop computer. Today, more than 80% of your customers or users access and view your website using a mobile phone. It is such a painful experience to browse non mobile responsive old website using your mobile phone. So, making your website a mobile responsive one is a MUST for your business NOW.

Q4. What is domain name?

A domain name of a website in the Internet is like the address of your office in the real world. Both the address and domain name must be unique and non-duplicate so people can find and locate you with no ambiguity. Your office/home address is controlled and regulated by the government authority (land office) while your domain name is controlled and regulated by the Domain Registry.

Domain name can be country-specific (such as .my and .com.my for Malaysia) or non-country-specific (such as .com, .cc, .org, .biz). Today, you can purchase your domain name easily via online order and ePayment.

Q7. I have my own Facebook Page. Why I still need to have a website with a domain name?

Many small and micro businesses set up their Facebook page for their business on day-1, as it is free and simple to do so. So why they still need a website?

Your website is your official online presence in the World Wide Web (WWW). A unique and easy-to-remember domain name represents your business in the online world. It is the official brand or the "signboard" of your business in the Internet or the online world! It doesn't cost you a lot of money. It's worth to invest your own domain name.

Facebook is one of the many popular social medias and social media is important to the businesses today. But it is NOT a website that you own! Your Facebook page can be easily replicated or scammed by someone and this may confuse your customers. And for specific reasons such as incidental violation of Facebook terms of service, your Facebook account may be suspended and your Facebook Page is brought offline! You have no control over this. But you have the full control over your own website and domain name, as long as you have paid your annual subscription. This is regarded as your "digital asset", especially when you have established your business brand in the marketplace.

Q8. What is an informative website?

An informative website refer to website which only displays static contents in text, picture and video. It also supports hyperlink action (via embedded link or button action) to redirect the http connection to another website or even perform an API call via HTTP.
